LET'S NOT HAVE A CIGARLet's have a cigar. Sure, let'shave cigars all 'round. Thecigar planters and growers gavethe country a big crop in 1912,and, under the good old law ofsupply and demand, cigars andtobacco should be cheaper.The government bureau of statistics says the tobacco crop of1912 aggregated 962,855,000 lbs.,as against a crop of 905,109,000in 1911, and in that excess thereought to be several smokes of onekind or another.So, let's have a cigar all 'round,Mr. Cigar Dealer. What? Tobacco gone up? Price higherthan it was last year? And rightin the face of an increased supply? Well, well, what do youknow about that? Tobacco trustwas declared unconstitutional,wasn't it? Then what becomesof that good old law of supplyand demand? Oh, that has beendeclared unconstitutional, too,eh? Thanks, one cigar will doalfalfa if you have it.o oKNEW HIS BUSINESSPeddler Please, mum, I'm asellin' a polish to clean silver.Housekeeper (sharply) I donot want any.Peddler Very sorry, mum ;but I see the neighbors wereright.
